You can adjust them in all directions once you open up the door panel, but the slop stays.

:shock: you sure my friend has the same car and his windows dont really have play at least not like mines.
I reread your post.
If the window is halfway, I'd say there should not be slop because the glass is probably starting to contact the weatherstrip, but if the window were all the way up and you open the door, I think they all have slop.

There are two adjusters at the top of the door. Remove the door panel and you'll see them. They have pieces of "carpet" on them. Loosen the bolts and you can slide them in (toward the inside of the car) or out (toward the outside of the car). Don't make them too tight or the window won't go up and down properly.
When the glass is up it won't be anywhere near those brackets though.
I glued commercial carpet on those suckers. The original material is like VERY cheap carpet, wears away, glass scrapes against the steel bracket. Listen as the glass goes up...hear scraping?

I just swapped the window motors, power lock actuators and glass in my Monte SS last weekend and can tell you that once adjusted properly the brackets are in fact right there beside the glass.
i adjusted those brackets made a little diffference but i guess for now it'll have to be enough.i find these windows have to much play in them. oh well. 😱
Be careful! They need a little play when closing with the glass up so they don't shatter. Don't make them too tight!
You shouldn't have any rattles from the glass because the weatherstrip should cushion any movement. There is a clip on the "A" pillar that sometimes rattles the glass. Try some spray silicone and it should go away.

My windows would not adjust due to excessive stress cracks in the steel of the door frame, so I just replaced the doors and think it should be OK whenever I put the windows back in.
